A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo provides the best of both worlds by combining your wall oven and microwave into one appliance. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen a classy appearance.
These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also have a wide range of options for cooking different foods.

Combining built in oven with microwave Ovens & Hobs of a microwave oven and the flexibility of wall ovens and a built-in microwave and wall oven is a practical solution for many kitchens. Explore our range of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the perfect one for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications of your chosen unit and the installation guide to make sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include microwave and oven models in a variety colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Also, look out for features such as intelligent and easy-to-use digital controls, a power cook function and built in self-cleaning options that will help you save time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can save space on kitchen counters and give a stylish design to your space. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food, and packaged food items. It also eliminates the need for an additional countertop appliance or a bulky stand-alone wall oven. If you want to upgrade your home without having to undertake major renovations, a combination microwave oven is a great choice.
Microwave oven combos can be found in many different styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, while others feature a drop-down design that opens the same way as an oven that is traditional. You can also find a microwave oven combo with the drawer design that opens as cabinets. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are perfect for smaller spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves are also equipped with many features that simplify meal preparation and make it more convenient. For example, some models come with sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you receive perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include the broil feature, which allows you to quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile can grill, bake, and crisp food items.
Think about how often you'll make use of each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you will be using the oven more frequently than the micro, you might be better off buying an extra wall oven. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than a standalone oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination for your needs, it's time to think about how you will install it. Over-the range models are mounted over your stovetop or cooktop, and plug into an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves can be incorporated on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Certain models come with trim kits to make your microwave match the cabinets you already have.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can help save the space in cabinets that would be taken up by separate appliances, and can also help reduce energy consumption. They typically offer the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, as they tend to use less energy. In addition, they can be used to cook both food and warm dishes, reducing the need for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating possible amended energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses, and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will utilize its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product.
DOE will compare the microwave's design to a set energy performance objectives in the engineering analysis. The engineering analysis will then determine the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is technologically feasible based on the most advanced microprocessor-controlled model available on the market or in working prototypes, or the maximum reduction in energy consumption that is technically achievable with the current technologies available for this product class.
As part of NIA, DOE will assess the impact on consumers, including the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback time (PBP). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated as well and DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified to this particular product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be affected in a different way by these proposals.
DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an integrated energy use measure. Currently, the test procedures only cover the use of standby mode power.
Design
Microwaves generate heat through the process of causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens rely upon the circulation of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, saving space in the kitchen while offering a sleek modern aesthetic. However, it is important to consider your goals and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
